Harris shows that the modern Yahweh is founded on a peculiar interpretation of Ex. 3:14, which is wrong (pp. 218-19).
“Yet we may argue that from evidence so far available, Yahweh is incorrect and Jahoweh just might be the true pronunciation.” – p. 224

In Greek: a Dissertation
Vasileiadis, Pavlos – The Sacred Tetragrammaton & its Reception in the Medieval Literature: A Study on the Translation of the Hebrew Theonymy with Special Emphasis on Two Bible Translations PhD diss. (Artistotle Univesity of Thessaloniki, 2017)
Abstract: “…focuses in two Greek Bible translations dated from the late Medieval period and early Renaissance periods, which only recently have been studied in more detail. The former is the Graecus Venetus (late 14th cent., GrVen) and the latter is the Constantinople Polyglott Pentateuch (1547, CPP). The subject is covered in six chapters. In chapter one is presented an introductory presentation of the subject and of the aim of the research within its historical, theological-philosophical and bibliographic frame.
In the second chapter are presented a review of the current scholarship of the research on this subject, as well as details on the meaning and semantics attached to the Tetragrammaton in the Near East background. Special treatment is provided for the Hebrew and Aramaic etymologies and they are presented in comparison with the Septuagintal (LXX) renderings and also other Bible translations in Greek. In this point is included a review of all the various ways that has been rendered the Tetragrammaton in the Bible manuscripts in Greek. In chapter three an inquiry is attempted in the possible ways that the Tetragrammaton might be related with the theonymic phrase of Exodus 3:14. Linguistic details and major hermeneutical approaches on this issue come to light. Then, an analysis is made of the correspondence between the Hebrew/Aramaic verbs hwh/hyh and the Greek είμαι/γίνομαι.
In chapter four are presented in table form the various renderings of Exodus 3:14 in all the available Bible translations in Greek. Of prime interest are the renderings found in GrVen and CPP and their special features are studied regarding the rendering of the Tetragrammaton and Exodus 3:14. Alternative renderings of the terms are examined based on the special features of these versions. Manuscript images previously unpublished are presented, especially as regards the GrVen. Then, a synthesis of all the evidence and the derived conclusions is attempted.
In the fifth chapter is traced across the Bible text of the available Greek translations of the rendering of the verb hyh in the form that is found in Exodus 3:14 and some additional conclusions are drawn. In chapter six the final conclusions are registered in an easy-to-read form. Bibliography is following.”
